Paper Summary

The Bitongkang pill was tested on rats with arthritis to see how it affects a protein called IL-1β in their joints. The researchers gave different doses of the pill to the rats for four weeks and found that it reduced inflammation in the joints and decreased the amount of IL-1β protein. This suggests that the Bitongkang pill could help reduce joint inflammation and prevent damage in arthritis.
